So people still consider AIC grunge? They're a metal band if i've ever heard one. Their riffs are very Sabbath like so how is that grunge and not metal?

Not that I disagree that "grunge" is clearly a totally fabricated genre... but AIC's riffs are absolutely not Sabbath-like.

Here's a hint: Their name starts with a R and ends with an ush.

New Thrash Metal

Toxic Holocaust and Skeletonwitch (one of my favorite bands) are great but I wouldn't call them Retro Thrash.

Norwegian Black Metal
Immortal
Burzum
Emperor
Mayhem

[Maiden33]

But they're not really a metal band.

Neither is King's X. I think he was intentionally leaving it open-ended... including both Progressive Rock and Metal.

I like this idea, I will be posting some later on.

How can you have a grunge list without Nirvana? I understand this is one of those "your list" things but c'mon. I know they get a lot of hate but they are hands down one of the big 4 of grunge.

I won't deny their influence but I assumed that these lists were opinionated, and I don't really like a lot of Nirvana. I prefer the other 4 a lot more.

I'm going to assume that the album you're talking about is Slaughter of the Soul, which is probably THE GREATEST MELODEATH ALBUM OF ALL TIME. That alone should have them included in at least the top 3 of any sort of Melodeath list. Just my opinion, anyways.

[maidenpriest]

Yeah, its Slaughter of the Soul

Does not compute.

-Dio is not power metal.
-The concept of Manowar being better than Blind Guardian literally makes my brain get diarrhea.

None of these bands are metalcore, nor are they influential.

They are metalcore, though bad choices for a metalcore 'big 4', and theres a SHITLOAD of kids out there who are playing guitar because of bands like Bullet For My Valentine and Trivium. Therefore, influential.

My Metalcore big 4 would be:

Killswitch Engage
Trivium
Avenged Sevenfold
Shadows Fall/Lamb Of God (I can't decide)

If people are gonna differentiate between death metal and melodeath, I think they need to separate godly metalcore from shitty melodic metalcore.

[Dextrimental]

Well, every album they've released has included melodic choruses, a staple of metalcore, and the first two albums, and the latest album, contain breakdowns. They're not what they once were, but they still hold alot of hardcore influences, IMO anyway.

Hey man I dig that stuff too, but I loves my melodic metalcore, and whether you dig it or not, its still metalcore. And those bands I classify under more straight up hardcore than any kind of metalcore, and I've listened to all but Rorshach since I was like ten (my brother is a huge punk/hardcore fan). When I hear the term metalcore, I think of the more modern stuff, like the bands I have listed

I totally understand you. Even Skeletonwitch mixes Thrash/Black/NWOBHM they are still someone what kinda the official of the new big 4. Toxic mixes Punk with Black which still kicks ass but they still have the Thrash sound.
I wasnt sure to add the Norwegian Black Metal list. I was actually thinking about it. I shall add it to mine now.



:facepalm: Agnostic Front IS NOT metalcore in any way, shape, or form. And Converge can suck my left nut. God, that band is so bad.

I can see why he said AF is metalcore. As much as i love Hatebreed they are the biggest rip offs of them and Madball except makin way more money. Converge sucks ass.

You have 5 bands here, and you accidentely put BDM under melodeath. I know you meant to put them under deathcore.

[xStructualDefect]

You have 5 bands here, and you accidentely put BDM under melodeath. I know you meant to put them under deathcore.

1. i couldn't choose between 4 bands. 2. i'm not a genre nazi police like some people but in all seriousness BDM is no way deathcore. maybe you're one of those people who automatically think a death metal band with a lot of young fans or young members = a deathcore band.

[ravenheart]

I also don't consider Toxic Holocaust to be part of the new thrash movement.

You should. They're about as stereotypical of that "movement" as it comes.

[Wizzbang11]

You should. They're about as stereotypical of that "movement" as it comes.

That's ridiculous. I would consider them part of the movement now, but there is no way in hell they are one of the "stereotypical" new thrash bands. The revival part of the genre is reviving very different bands. Instead of the typical American thrash-worship of the nu-thrash bands, TH's music is pretty clearly influenced by bands like Sodom, Discharge, Sarcofago and Onslaught (all of which I doubt would even be mentioned by the nu-thrash bands.) Toxic Holocaust spent almost a decade releasing things on NWN! and HH before getting signed to Relapse and joining everyone else. Not only do they sound different and predate the movement, but they still haven't caved into the happy party-thrash.

For the new thrash bands, I would say it's not at all fair to group them all in the same "movement" simply because they are well known. There are the retro nu thrash bands, but then there are also the metal-punk bands who have the spirit of a lot of the European 80s thrash mixed with punk and a lot of Japanese hardcore. G.A.T.E.S, Bludwulf, Children of Technology and all the other bands of the genre are certainly do not play the same music as Municipal Waste, Evile, Bonded by Blood etc.

[rjturtle9]

I love TH, and I must respectfully disagree with your points. They do sound different, but a lot of the big 4 of the Thrash revival scene sounds different from each other. For me it goes like this.

Municipal Waste
Toxic Holocaust
Warbringer
Bonded by Blood (Maybe...)

[elturtleboy]

yeah i think im gonna take Skeletonwitch of the new 4. As much i love them,theyre too diffrent. Toxic Holocaust stays. Their Blackend Thrash leans more on the thrash side unlike Skeli who leans more on the black. If I have to pick a band,id say Gama Bomb for being too badass.

Don't worry, I consider myself a noob too. Although I've been listening to extreme metal for a few years, I didn't get into classic/heavy metal until later. I kind of went backwards, I guess.

[treghet]

What seems to be the problem...

Being a pretty big NIN fan I can definitely tell you they aren't metal. There is a little bit of metal influence on the Broken EP and The Downward Spiral, but that's all.

Wow, not a lot of you know what NWOBHM is apparently.

Wow, not a lot of you know what NWOBHM is apparently.

Thing is, one could argue that a big 4 of conventional heavy metal, would be identical to that of NWOBHM.

[Jasonic]

Sorry, but Priest and Sabbath preceded NWOBHM by many years.

Look I love both NWOBMH and traditional metal, probably to equal degrees. Just gets my knickers in a bunch when people call Priest and Sabbath NWOBHM.

True NWOBHM is about more than just originating in the UK in the 70s.
There is a punk rock energy to it as well.

If you don't know what I am talking about, go get the S/T Angel Witch or Spellbound by Tygers of Pan Tang.

Sabbath, I will agree, Priest not so much. And I know about the NWOBHM, and those records already.

[DethMaiden]

That pop list is arbitrary.

But I was thinking earlier today about the Big Four of modern female pop stars. It's definitely Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Ke$ha and Taylor Swift. I'm gonna write a long piece on it for the blog of the entertainment weekly I edit later tonight, actually, which I'll post here when it's done.

BIG 4 of Hip hop MCs

Kool G Rap

one could argue and choose the 4th. I would say it's a tie between Nas, big daddy Kane, The Genious Gza

Ice Cube
Eminem
2 Pac
Immortal Technique

POP
Classic
AC/DC

This looks pretty arbitrary as well. Beatles and AC/DC definitely, but the Stones and Aerosmith are way bigger then the other two.
